Meth Lab Bust in Montgomery October 12

Around 1:00am Monday, guests of an extended stay hotel in Montgomery,Alabama were forced out on the street until hours later that morning. Guests were forced out of the hotel due to a meth lab bust. The two suspects, Siubo Souvannasing, 31, and Starr Sullins, 23, were arrested and charged with Manufacturing of a Controlled Substance at the America's Best Inn in Montgomery while other guests remained uninformed while sleeping in their rooms. Just after 1:00am Monday, hotel security reported a strong odor coming from the room and called police to the scene. Once the police arrived they discovered an operational meth lab and that's when guests were forced to evacuate the hotel. As guests remained outside, a specialized DEA unit based out of Birmingham had to come in and clean up the scene. Around 7:30 in the morning, clean up was complete and guests were finally invited back into the hotel. The two suspects are being held at the Montgomery County Detention Facility under $60,000 bond. Both suspects are wanted in Elmore County for the exact same crime. It's pretty scary to think that this sort of thing could be going on right under our nose in very unexpected locations. Hopefully, hotel security will become more strict on check-in policies and maintaining an adequate level of security while people are staying in hotels to prevent further crime from happening.
